Until I feared I would lose it, I never loved to read. One does not love breathing.

A book is a gift you can open again and again.

---

I think books are like people, in the sense that they’ll turn up in your life when you most need them.

---

A word aptly uttered or written cannot be cut away by an axe.

---

Some books leave us free and some books make us free.

---

Books are the plane, and the train, and the road. They are the destination, and the journey. They are home.

---

I can feel infinitely alive curled up on the sofa reading a book.

---

Some books are so familiar that reading them is like being home again.

---

Books and doors are the same thing. You open them, and you go through into another world.

---

I can survive well enough on my own – if given the proper reading material.
